Abstract

Psychological health problem and professionalism of pilots has brought hidden dangers for aviation safety. To explore mediating mechanism of psychological health and professionalism of pilots, data of civil aviation pilots respondents was collected through questionnaires, which including psychological health, locus of control, affective self-regulatory efficacy, and professionalism. In addition, according to the “Norms for the Cultivation of Professional Style of Crew Members” issued by the Civil Aviation Administration, the company records of the external behavior of pilots’ professionalism were searched. The collected data was analyzed by mediating effect analytical method. Results show that locus of control of pilots have significantly negative correlations with affective self-regulatory efficacy and professionalism, while affective self-regulatory efficacy has a significantly positive correlation with professionalism. However, the correlations of external behavior of pilots’ professionalism with internal-external control, affective self-regulatory efficacy, professionalism and psychological health are insignificant. The mediating effects of affective self-regulatory efficacy in the relationships between internal-external control and professionalism and psychological health are significant. These results indicated that pilots who generally attributed the outcome of the event to themselves and felt more in control of their stress tended to be more confident in their emotional regulation abilities, and because of their greater affective self-regulatory efficacy, they exhibited better mental health and professionalism. Moreover, the scientific validity of corporate behavioral records of external behavior of pilots’ professionalism needs to be further investigated. Research results can provide references to conduct training methods of civil aviation pilots.
